Vukovic better bring his gloves warn Wanderers

Western Sydney's Tony Popovic and Mitch Nichols hit back at claims Sydney FC's goalkeeper won't need to make a save in Saturday's derby

Graham Arnold's comments about Sydney FC's defence were hit for six by Western Sydney Wanderers on Friday ahead of the Sydney derby.

On Thursday, Arnold fired up Wanderers fans with claims his team's "brick wall" defence would ensure that Sydney goalkeeper Danny Vukovic wouldn't need to make a save on Saturday night at Allianz Stadium.

Western Sydney coach Tony Popovic and attacking midfielder Mitch Nichols were happy to respond on Friday.
